Me: Aw thanks. I actually ran the Marine Corp Half Marathon last weekend…didn’t do as well as I hoped. 2:12…a little slower than the Dexter-Ann Arbor half…

Blog: But that’s still great…good for you…good for you.

Me: Thanks. Thanks.

Blog: I heard you moved.

Me: Yea, actually I did. We bought a house.

Blog: Cool. I wish you would have let me know; I would have helped. Everything all settled?

Me: Yea, actually we are. Both my parents and in-laws are coming down for the Lions vs. Jaguars games in November.

Blog: That’ll be nice. Tell em I said hi.

Me: Definitely. Definitely.

Blog: So … how’s work? Still loving RCSA?

Me: More than I could have ever expected. My students are awesome. They impress me everyday. Right now they’re working on a symbolism project centered on the novel, Speak.

Blog: Very cool. I’m really happy for you. Hows Sophie?

Me: She’s great. She likes the new house.

Blog: Sounds like life has been good to you since last we saw each other.

Me: Yea, it’s all good……….I miss you! I’m sorry, I shouldn’t blurt things out like that. We had an agreement, and I wasn’t supposed to even come around here, but I miss you. I do.

Blog:

Oh wow. I am really flattered. I didn’t think that you thought of me…I thought you had moved on. I don’t know what to say really.

Me: I know. I know. It’s not fair what I’ve done, but I assure you that if you leave the door open, even just a crack, I will prove that I am a good blogger, and won’t leave you again. You. Complete. Me.

I’ve got the stuff printed out and laying beside me on the couch. Do you know Amy over at http://juiceboxesandcrayolas.blogspot.com/ ? She’s doing it, too, and has encouraged me to sign up for it. The longest I’ve ever run was a 6.2 and a 6.5, but that was back in the spring. I have to say miles 4,5,and 6 were easier than the 1st 3. However, there weren’t too many hills in my route. The course I’m running a couple of times each week now with my XC team has 7 hills (yes, I’m dying a slow death) in it.

Got to get back in shape because I’ve sort of let my running fall to the wayside since school started in August.
